PSU -2.5 vs OSU

  • JTNITTANY said...

    Half our starters are currently playing for other schools. And the reason we are good is because of the seniors? I'm sorry, is Allen Robinson a senior? How about Kyle Carter? Or Bill Belton, Donovan Smith, Adrian Amos, etc? Offensively our biggest loss will be Matt McGloin and we have a 5 star QB coming in to take that spot over. Also we have Bill O'Brien, you just have Urbz.

    As I said, OSU fans have no clue about PSU at all with regards to this year's football team and the talent that remains after this year. We might not have a plethora of depth at each position, but true people who have watched PSU know this clown is wrong.

    Not whining, just stating facts, half of our starters are currently out with injuries. And we didn't play Hall as a true t-back, more of an h-back. Different role from Hyde, and sorely missed, because we have very few playmakers on offense (or defense for the matter).

    True that you have had it rough with the transfers, which is one reason I had written off PSU but have been very surprised at how good of football team they are. It's why I said that even though I love my buckeyes, my objective assessment is that PSU is a better football team and will win.

    But your smart ass remark is just another reason why I have come to dislike PSU so much. I hope you enjoy this year, I really do. The only reason you are a decent football team is because of your seniors. They'll be gone after this year, with crap talent behind them, and for the foreseeable future. It'll be downhill from here...

    I'll preclude this by saying that i understand players can still transfer after this year but I think PSU will be ok next year on offense as they only lose 2 senior starters and bring back a ton of experience on the oline. Defense will definitely be worse but wont drop off a cliff as long as we have Johnson and vandy as our coaches. Many of our better players are either freshmen or sophomores which gives me some hope for the future.

    Yes we do. Its why, among other obvious reasons, you see so much PT for guys like Zettel, CJ, Hull, and Davis.

    There are kids on the DL getting some valuable reps and should be ready for starting roles next year - Olyanian and Zettle for starters. Hull goes into the LB starting rotation. However, I agree with your premise.

    "The only reason you are a decent football team is because of your seniors". Sorry my friend but, Bob is the real reason. After observing football in both UF, and PSU, I say with much respect to UM, he should be a student of Bob...i did, and always will admire what UM did for UF, but Bob is at the next level.

    The advantage OSU has is UM knows SEC teams, and to me PSU looks like an SEC team this yr, yea I said that..

    Great. I hope Urb studies and expects Ole Miss to show up. Study away and get your nap so your heart is okay Urbs!

    Another OSU fan here, reading.....Wanted to point out that I think its BS to punish an entire program for ANYTHING, unless it gave the program an unfair ADVANTAGE to the team/recruiting. Criminal molestation activity? Throw the guys responsible into jail. Prove it BENEFITTED THE PROGRAM, or else leave the program alone.... ...Same with tOSU....some players gave away the normal swag that all B1G players get, in exchange for free tattoos...how did that give us an unfair advantage? So penalize the kids involved (we did), and fire the coach (Tressell, we did) for lying to the NCAA (although I really believe he was protecting his players as much as anything)....but why punish the kids that kept their noses clean?

    This is more irritating when compared to the SEC. Auburn PURCHASED Cam Newton. No punishment. Alabama has been averaging around 130 signed recruits every 4 years, tOSU has averaged less than 100....Oversigning and cash-for-LOIs are examples of ACTUAL unfair advantages. The NCAA does nothing.

    My two cents on a problem we have in common.....And since I'm posting anyway: tOSU 41 PSU 19. Our defense sucks, but we'll find a way to crush you anyway.

    Linebacker position concerns me the most. We know Hull and Carson will be starters next years. I guess Kline and Wartman will battle it out for the 3rd spot. Depth is lacking big time.

    By the way, Hull is going to be the next great one. The guy is already our best cover LB and that's really say something when you have Mauti and Hodges on your team.

    Another OSU poster who has only watched OSU offense and no OSU defense, or any PSU games this year (offense or defense). For a fan of a school that gave up 49 to Indiana, I wouldn't be going around talking up a score like that. You will more than likely look very very very foolish.

    You just made a blanket statement peace

    I was very surprised that Ohio State opened a -3. If I bet, I would have jumped on penn state like crazy with that #.

    I know about penn state. People (not just the "blanketed" Ohio State fans)... but all fans, forget that penn state was pretty good last year.

    Then when you lost to ohio u and va everyone just forgot about you. But good Lord... the 1st 2 games you were playing against a much larger opponent than those 2 teams. After the body blows the team took this summer, it would have been more shocking if you won those games.

    But it is impossible to ignore the job that Coach o'brien and his staff have done. They have gotten better each week.

    My homer side says Buckeyes win by 7...my brain tells me that penn state should win this game....we will see,

  • PSU back down to -1. What's the current news on their QB? I figured early money bet PSU thinking he was out and then when he gets cleared the money will go back to OSU. So what's his current status and projected status is what I want to know before I bet it.

    At today's press conference Urban said that Braxton is ready to go and will play Saturday.

    Awesome thanks. Looks like my totally uneducated guess was accurate. I'm going to keep monitoring the line. The juice is equal right now, so I'll decide what I'm doing to do once it leans one way.

    Unbelievably, the 5dimes line has moved to PSU +1, money is hitting OSU hard. I don't recall seeing a college line move this much is so short of time.

  • Now at +1.5, I hit the ml +108.
